Word doesn't support the editing tools that make me most productive so yes it's totally a preference for editing. But Word also by default does a lot of auto formatting and I just don't like chasing down the various toggles for it all.
It may have gotten better I haven't actually used Word in probably 10 years or more at this point. The fact is that I can edit my document in an editor I'm comfortable with and I can typeset it with a tool I'm comfortable with and the two steps are pretty distinct from each other and I like that explicit separation.
- da_chicken 8y agoAnd that's fine. You should use the tools you prefer. But it doesn't really make a LaTeX user more qualified to criticize Word any more than OP is for criticizing LaTeX, does it? Is "I just don't like chasing down the various toggles for it all" really a better argument than "I find reading all those codes aversely difficult"?
- zaphar 8y agoNope it's a personal preference choice.
